Hello (and thanks for the excellent plugin):
It’s possible that the QR Code links to %post_id% ignorating the the custom permalink structure defined by WordPress?

Thank you.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

you could achieve this easily by just using the shortcode

eg: echo do_shortcode( ‘[lh_qr_code text=”%post_id%”]’);

or by dirfectky linking to the qr code genereator on your site

eg: https://yoursite.com/lh_qr_codes/?text=%post_id%

Hopefully you understand what I am saying?

Thanks for the answer.
The first suggestion has not changed the custom url.
I think I do not understood the second.
But I made it using this code:
<?php $post_id = get_the_ID (); echo do_shortcode ("[lh_qr_code format = 'png' text = 'https: //www.mysite.com/?p=$post_id']"); ?>

If you can improve it, your suggestions will be welcome as usually.

Best regards,
Javier.

Do you know HTML?

I ask as the script that generates the qr is located at:

https://yoursite.com/lh_qr_codes/?text=%whatever+text+is%

so just replace the text you want to link to with whatever

e.g. check out the qr at one of my sites:

https://princesparktouch.com/lh_qr_codes/?text=%do+you+understand+me%

I understand now thanks.
It just just pasting % post_id% at the end of the statement was not generated the post id.

Finally I found out this code that generate the post ID with a more short way (inside of the loop)

<? php echo do_shortcode ("[lh_qr_code format='png' text='https://www.mysite.com/? p=$post->ID'] "); ?>

Thanks for the support, it is working perfectly.
